These bonus rounds are killing me Curt.....
Usually terrain items are not allowed in the Challenge so I emailed Curt for a little advice. He said "Use your imagination?" So I did!

London, 1688.
Every Saturday night in fine houses members of High Society
would meet to party the night away at Balls and Galas. The biggest and most
opulent was that of Sir Cloudsy Butterworth, 2nd Earl of Knightsbridge and his
good lady wife Winifred.
It was at one such party not long ago that the two roughest
villains and vagabonds stole poor Sir Cloudsy's fine collection of Moorish weaponry
that he picked up while he served as Vice Governor to Percy Kirke in Tangier.
The collection was said to be worth thousands.Quite how the two villains
managed to relieve Sir Cloudsy of his treasure is not known.
But who are these two villains??
Recently Terrence Campbell and his good lady wife Denise
have moved to London from Cornwall, where they apparently made their fortune in
Copper and Tin mining. They have been
invited to all of the recent and forthcoming social events in good ol' London
town..........but all is not as it seems. For Denise and Terrence are in fact
the Thieves!!
It was them who stole Sir Cloudsy's treasure, it is them who
pray on the filthy rich, whom they befriend then steal from.
For they are not really Mr and Mrs Campbell, they are in fact
England's two most wanted criminals and have been sentenced to hang as soon as
they are caught for previous crimes.
May I present the rouges of the fleapit of London and the
masters of disguise..................................Dee Fensiff & Terry
Ain!
If you feel inclined pop on over to the Bonus Round page a cast a vote. There are some stunning entries into this round, Millsy and Sir Michael Awdry to name but a few!!!
The figures are from Ainsty Castings from their Three Musketeers range, although I can't find them on their web page??
Nice work Ray but skating on thin fecking ice with this one!

ReplyDeleteThanks Paul!
DeleteA very creative attempt to "steal" the topic.
ReplyDeleteCloudsy Butterworth - great name.
The idea for his name comes from the wonderfully named Sir Cloudesley Shovell, a Naval officer during the NYW and WSS.

Very nice! Great colors! Keep em coming!
DeleteGreat stuff Ray, as always ;-)
